I'm Karl Romain. These are exercises for teaching teamwork. Teamwork is an essential part of our lives. We use it in building relationships, for communication and at work so these exercises will help you to be a better team member. Our first exercise for teamwork will be the team push-up. Now this is a challenging exercise and the way we're going to start this is to make sure that you know who you are going to be using from your team. Be sure that you have your heavier person as your anchor all the way to your lighter person. They will place their feet on the back of each other. As they do this, you want to make sure that they lock their knees and squeeze their stomach muscles. Then they're going to push all the way up together and down together keeping in mind that this is not just for your arms, this is also for your core and at the same time we're all working together because this is a big part of teamwork. Our next exercise for teamwork is partner squats. To begin you'll find somebody close to your weight. You will hook up the arms and go back to back. You will go all the way down with your feet together, extend the legs, bringing them back in and then slowly raising up. This is an excellent exercise for the top of the quads or the thighs and it will make you nice and strong keeping in mind that it's really important to have great posture while you are doing this exercise. Also teamwork and cooperation.
